exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1. A therapeutic leg support pillow for positioning between the legs of an individual in a reclining position to maintain and correct spinal alignment, the therapeutic leg support pillow comprising:
a resilient, biased pillow member having a rectangular footprint having a generally planar base surface, opposing side walls, opposing end walls and an upper surface, said upper surface having a plurality of intersecting channels defining a plurality of levels on said upper surface, said plurality of levels cooperative with inner thighs, knees and calves of an individual when said biased pillow member is folded in half upon said base surface and positioned between said inner thighs, knees and calves of said user, wherein one of said plurality of intersecting channels includes a longitudinal transverse channel extending from end wall to end wall and defining a lowest level of said plurality of levels of said upper surface, said longitudinal transverse channel being arcuate in cross section, and wherein said plurality of intersecting channels further includes two lateral transverse channels positioned proximate said end walls and traversing between said side walls, said two lateral transverse channels defining an intermediate level of said plurality of levels of said upper surface, said two lateral transverse channels being arcuate in cross section.
2. The therapeutic leg support pillow in accordance with claim 1 wherein one of said plurality of intersecting channels includes a transverse groove between said side walls, perpendicular to said side walls and bifurcating said upper surface of said therapeutic pillow, said transverse groove defining a fold demarcation for said therapeutic leg support pillow.
3. The therapeutic leg support pillow in accordance with claim 1 wherein said pillow is formed of a material having natural bias from said folded to said open position.
